It’s been the hot topic for Minnie Mouse fans everywhere.

Disney has seen many changes over the last couple of years, with new pandemic regulations, modified entertainment experiences, and the launch of Disney Genie. But nothing has compared to the outrage surrounding one Disney character’s new look. 

Minnie is known for her signature red and white polka dot dress – a look that has featured in movies, merchandise, and character meet and greets for years.

It was revealed that Minnie Mouse would be stepping out in a stylish new outfit for Disneyland Paris’ 30th anniversary celebration, and we’ve finally had our first glimpse at this designer attire.

Disneyland Park, Walt Disney Studios Park, and Disney Village began their 30th anniversary celebrations on March 6, 2022.

The theme park Resort in Chessy, France originally opened in 1992 with Disneyland Park — formerly, Euro Disneyland Park — being the first of two French Disney Parks. In 2002, Disney opened Walt Disney Studios Park, based on Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World in Florida.

The 30th anniversary celebrations of the Paris Resort will see Guests treated to an all-new nighttime pre-show utilizing drones above Sleeping Beauty Castle called Disney D-light, a new show called “Dream… and Shine Brighter”, the opening of Avengers Campus – featuring WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure and an Iron Man retheme of Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster Starring Aerosmith –  as well as Minnie’s new outfit.

For the first time, the beloved character is wearing a blue pantsuit created by British designer Stella McCartney.

Minnie’s new ensemble includes matching blue and black polka dot pants, a blazer, and a big bow, all significantly different from the red and white dress we’re used to.

Her new look is in honor of Women’s History Month. Beginning March 6, 2022, Minnie is now wearing her new pantsuit at Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris.

DLP Report revealed her new pantsuit in photos released on Twitter:

”Minnie Fashionista”, in her famous Stella McCartney pantsuit, is now meeting all Guests at Studio Theater:

Of course, this new pants look has stirred controversy amongst Disney Guests, who favor the traditional polka dot dress that Minnie usually wears. Disney Parks Blog shared the details of her new designer pantsuit, writing:

And we’re thrilled to announce the First Ultrachic Pantsuit for Minnie Mouse at Disneyland Paris, designed by Stella McCartney herself. In honor of Women’s History Month, starting on March 6, 2022, find Minnie Mouse at Walt Disney Studios Park as she rocks a new take on her signature polka dots.

As part of International Women’s Rights Day, Stella McCartney will market a unique Minnie Mouse t-shirt exclusively available online and in Stella stores on March 8, 2022. Starting spring 2022, a limited-edition product line inspired by the cult movie Fantasia will be also launched by Stella McCartney.

It’s easy to forget that this isn’t the first time Minnie has ditched her dress for “trousers”. 

Minnie Mouse has been wearing pants with Disney Cruise Line for a while now as part of her role as Captain Minnie alongside Mickey Mouse, making cruising even more magical.

The newest Disney Cruise Line ship, the Disney Wish, will be captained by Minnie Mouse in her bold red jacket and white pants.

It’ll be interesting to see what new outfits Disney will conjure up for other characters for future celebrations.

Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary saw Mickey, Minnie, and their friends get new EARidescent outfits that glimmer in character cavalcades down Main Street, U.S.A.
